This week, we chat with Anthony Cousins, the director of the acclaimed short When Susurrus Stirs and the found footage horror film Frogman. Anthony has made waves in the indie horror genre with his film Frogman, a genuinely frightening tale shot in glorious low-res high-8 film. The film follows three friends in search of the Loveland Frogman who find out that he is more than just a local legend.
Anthony takes us through his creative process, the importance of authenticity in lo-fi horror, and his fascination with cryptids like the Slide-Rock Bolter. We also cover the state of the film industry, the unique aspects of the horror genre, and Anthony’s opinions on AI. Hear about his lessons from life's setbacks and what’s next for his career, including the sequel Frogman 2.
